Problem
After undergoing an induction and separation procedure, two identical metal spheres A and B are found to carry charges of −3.0 μC and +3.0 μC respectively. The centers of the spheres are placed 8.0 cm apart. Calculate the magnitude of the electrostatic force that one sphere exerts on the other and state whether the force is attractive or repulsive.
